When Should You Send Sympathy Flowers? Timing, Etiquette, and Thoughtfulness
Sending sympathy flowers is one of the most meaningful gestures you can make—but knowing when to send them can be uncertain. Is it appropriate before the funeral? What about after? Can you still send flowers weeks later?
The truth is, there’s no wrong time to express compassion.
-
Before the service: Flowers delivered to the funeral home help honor the deceased and offer support to the family during the ceremony.
-
At the service: Standing sprays and altar arrangements create a respectful, elegant tribute.
-
After the funeral: Sending flowers to the home days or weeks later reminds the family they’re still being held in love and memory.
At Whiskey Wallflower, we offer same-day delivery to homes, funeral homes, and places of worship across The Woodlands, Spring, and nearby communities.

Is it too late to send sympathy flowers a week after the funeral?
Not at all. In fact, many people appreciate flowers that arrive after the services, when daily life resumes and support tends to fade.
